The ability to move multiple pages in one drag-and-drop
It would be nice to be able to highlight all the pages in a feature (say, three spreads) and be able to move the whole feature in one drag and drop, instead of having to move each spread individually.

Multiple user accounts per magazine
Since developing a flatplan is really a collaborative process (in most cases) I think being able to have multiple users with variable access rights and permissions would be a nice addition to blinkplan.

The ability to swap single pages super-quick
When placing adverts and single page articles and so forth it's quit awkward to move them about. Clicking on a single page and simply saying "swap that with page X" would be really useful. So shifting single page adverts around a magazine becomes far easier.

Customizable content-size templates
I make the flatplans for several newspapers which share the same content dimensions. We use ads and editorial shapes that are sized 1/16 page, 9/16 page, 1/4 vertical and horizontal, 3/8 vertical and horizontal, etc. If we could customize our own templates to fit our own peculiar needs, we would ... more

That 'notes' can be linked to a specific page/DPS
The reason i set up blinkplan was so that designers and I can work remotely. I want to give my designers instructions for some pages. Its very tedious for them to scroll through my entire notes.

Why not add (optional) Radio Buttons/Checkboxes to spreads
Obviously, lots of people work from the flatplans (designers, ad people, editors), so wouldn't it be good to have check boxes that can be assigned to a page/spread/feature by the administrator, with status descriptions such as 'materials supplied'/'laid out'/'sent for approval' etc. (status descr... more
These statuses would only be visible online - not in the PDF, right?

Putting Gatefold pages at the front of the flatplan
When I have a gatefold cover, I make the cover section 6 pages (instead of 4), and Blinkplan adds the extra 2 pages at the back of the flatplan -- which is a bit confusing. Can we have these pages be at the front of the flatplan?

Link pages to Xpress / Indesign files
Blinkplan is user-friendly, cool and efficient. If it is able to link pages or sections to Xpress / Indesign files, it'ld become very powerful…

page numbering
It would be good to know how to alter page numbering: in a 48 plus 4 page publication, I would like to count the four pages as Cover, IFC, which you do, and then IBC (inside back cover) and then BC (back cover)

The ability to add Circle #'s to the ad pages
My publication has Reader Circle #'s for lead generation for our advertisers. It would be great if we could have the option of adding a circle # to Advertising pages.

The ability to define PDF settings
It would be great if when the user clicks on "Download PDF" they were presented with options on how many pages of the flat plan would print per page in the PDF. Default now is - I believe - 97 or so - I'd love to see the pages slightly bigger so that the PDF has something along the lin... more

Alternative pricing plans
The price model available seems focused on monthly magazines. Blinkplan could be a perfect match for my company if there where alternatives to that. My need is roughly fifty individual flatplans (with individual work groups) annually, where each flatplan would be active during half a year.

Providing a note on how to reduce size of book
You make it easy to take it up, but not down. Resetting the section size and deleting extraneous spreads does the trick, but some people might need to be told that -- and maybe there's a better way.
